There will always be one that everyone thinks of when it comes to music and lifestyle festivals. Woodstock was marketed as a three-day music and art event to be “the most important artistic and spiritual experience in history,” but it wasn’t quite so pleasant.

You don’t think about where these festivals are held often, but a dairy farm is an excellent location for 400,000 people. And these two side-by-side comparisons showcase the enormous size of this well-known event.
